ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Don Glass. I am a visual artist and educator who has held positions at the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, the Louisiana Division of Arts, and the Philadelphia Education Fund.

I am a former Universal Design for Learning Leadership Fellow at Boston College and CAST. The Fellowship program is funded through the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs. During my Fellowship, I worked on revising the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines, designing blended online higher education courses, and developing tools and protocols for the UDL evaluation at the district level.

Prior to my Fellowship award, I was the Director of Outcomes and Evaluation at VSA and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. My work at VSA focused on building evaluation capacity to gather, use, and share valuable knowledge about inclusive arts teaching and learning, particularly using the framework of UDL.

I hold a B.F.A. from the University of the Arts and a M.Ed. from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, as well as a Ph.D. from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. My doctoral research focused on national arts and culture curriculum reform and teacher professional development in post-Apartheid South Africa.

Good day, Am barrister Emmanuel Godwin I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(emmanuelgodwin999@gmail.com) for the full details.

Don, this site and your materials are wonderful! What a tremendous resource, and I thank you so much for sharing with me. I will be sure to share this with colleagues both within and outside of arts education. I look forward to continuing to learn as I explore!

Hi Don! I'm super busy. I'm trying to incorporate UDL principles in my class but what deters me is the 'set' system the school advocates. I think I need to be a rebel! But I do try to keep in mind that all learners are different, and I should be patient when some students can quickly absorb the materials but others struggle. I realize now it's know only because of a lack of trying and as a teacher, having that mindset is so important!
